Professional Deck Cleaning
Professional deck cleaning that removes dirt, grime, mould, algae and organic buildup while using a process suited to the timber and its condition.
Guardian Wash provides professional deck cleaning throughout Otago and Southland.
Decks can quickly collect dirt, mould, algae, grime and organic buildup, particularly in shaded or damp areas. This can leave the timber looking dark, tired and neglected.
Our team uses appropriate cleaning solutions and controlled washing methods suited to the timber, coating and overall condition of the deck. We avoid using unnecessary pressure that may damage timber fibres, strip coatings or leave visible cleaning marks.
The final result depends on the age of the timber, existing coatings, surface wear, staining and previous maintenance.

Common Questions
We use controlled cleaning methods based on the timber, coating and surface condition. Excessive pressure can damage timber fibres and leave visible marks, so the process is adjusted carefully.
Our cleaning process is designed to remove common dirt, mould, algae and organic buildup. Deep staining or deterioration within the timber may remain visible.
Professional cleaning can create a major improvement, but the final result depends on the age of the timber, existing coatings, surface wear, staining and previous maintenance.
This depends on the condition of the coating. Older or failing paint and stain may lift during cleaning. We will assess the surface and explain any concerns before beginning.
Deck cleaning can help prepare suitable timber for future maintenance. Additional preparation, drying time or sanding may still be required before a new coating is applied.
Customers should remove furniture, pot plants, barbecues and personal items before the appointment where possible.
We take practical precautions around nearby plants and surfaces, including pre wetting and rinsing where appropriate.
These areas can be included when listed in the accepted quote. Please provide photographs so the complete scope can be assessed.
Customers do not always need to be home, provided we have safe access, an available water supply and all required instructions.
The ideal frequency depends on shade, moisture, surrounding trees, weather exposure and the condition of the timber. Many decks benefit from professional cleaning every one to two years.
